Project Description Country: Ethiopia Location: Nekemte Total Budget: $6,719 Area of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene Activity Type: Water: Supply/Access Summary: Upgrade gravity-fed potable water system for 2,062 people in Hara Keku Kebele, Ethiopia. The Laga Mume Keku spring provides neither accessible nor adequate water to the community. The project will repair the spring cap, provide a water distribution point and a clothes wash station at the spring, and install 1.1 kilometers of water pipe to provide a four-faucet water distribution point closer to the main population center. Work will begin in November 2025 and will be completed by May 2026. Funds will be used for materials, masonry, concrete, pipeline installation, transportation, and professional technical oversight. Community members will provide construction labor. Members of the Rotary Club of Nekemte will provide a bank account, oversee the funds, and work with the community during construction.

History Log Entries 27-May-25 by Randy Looper Susan, Can you remind your current PE Cassandra that they still need to answer the club qualification questions found at this link: https://rotary5440.org/page/district-grant-qualifications Once she sends her answers to me i can send her the MOU she and her PE needs to sign. Randy Looper District Grants 30-May-25 by Susan Brayton System Entry: Project sent for club signatures. 30-May-25 by Susan Brayton System Entry: Project signed by Susan Brayton. 1-Jul-25 by Randy Looper Susan, The District had $18,000 more grant requests than available DDF for the 25 - 26 grant year. In order to meet the available DDF it was determined that we need to reduce the 3 tier levels to the next lower tier or $1,000. I have cancelled your signature process and reduced your DDF request by $975. You will need to either reduce the total budget for your grant or increase your club giving by $975 so it balances. Once you have made this adjustment please start the signature process again. If you have any questions please email or call me at 970-629-0654.
